just wanna ask, which cable is suitable for making IC (mini-mini, mini-RCA, mini-LOD) and headphone recable, is it Canare L-4E6S or Canare L-2T2S?? thanks icon_rolleyes.gif
*
L-4E6S = 4 core shielded cable
L-2T2S = 2 core shielded cable


so the L-4E6S would be better for a more universal application...

depending on the cables used....yes.
